Copper

Copper is a trace mineral and the third most abundant in the body among its colleagues of other trace minerals.
This mineral is involved in energy production and it aids in the formation of red blood cells, bone, and hemoglobin.
Copper is essential to nerve health as it is needed to build and maintain myelin, the insulating sheath that surrounds nerve cells.
Your body requires copper to help an enzyme that is necessary for the production of the connective tissue proteins, collagen and elastin. In fact, copper also works with zinc and vitamin C to form elastin. Nevertheless, it is therefore needed for the development and the maintenance of skin and bones, including blood vessels and joints.
Copper is involved in the healing process and in the making of melanin, which is the pigment that is responsible for your skin and hair color.
